The Socialist Manifesto by Bhaskar Sunkara, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

A \"razor-sharp\" introduction to this political and economic ideology makes a galvanizing argument for modern socialism (Naomi Klein) - and explains how its core tenets could effect positive change in America and worldwide. InThe Socialist Manifesto, Bhaskar Sunkara explores socialism's history since the mid-1800s and presents a realistic vision for its future. With the stunning popularity of Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Americans are embracing the class politics of socialism. But what, exactly, is socialism? And what would a socialist system in America look like? The editor ofJacobinmagazine, Sunkara shows that socialism, though often seen primarily as an economic system, in fact offers the means to fight all forms of oppression, including racism and sexism. The ultimate goal is not Soviet-style planning, but to win rights to healthcare, education, and housing, and to create new democratic institutions in workplaces and communities. A primer on socialism for the 21st century, this is a book for anyone seeking an end to the vast inequities of our age. | The Socialist Manifesto by Bhaskar Sunkara, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
